Balu Mahi Page #2

---

- Mum and Dad will be here soon.

Hurry up and do whatever

you guys have to do.

You know how Mum is.

We need your mother's shalwar.

Why?

Is this his mother's shalwar

or an elephant's?

Please behave.

You are talking about his mother.

Yeah. She should go on a diet!

Has Auntie gained some weight?

This is my father's.

Oh, sorry.

How should I know?

Oh God. It's my dad. Run, run!

Stop! Stop! Stop! Go! Quickly!

Save me, somebody save me!

This wolf is trying

to take advantage of me.

Where are you running away to,

my cutie pie?

It's a full moon tonight and...

nobody can save you from this wolf.

Let me go, you wolf. Let me go!

No!

Why are you squealing?

Come here and scream louder

Stop twirling me around, you demon!

Are you wearing two saris?

Let go of me!

Let go off me, you rascal.

I'll let you go...

but first get rid of my hunger

and make me thirsty for more.

Come here, my love.

Where are you running off to?

No!

Fallen asleep again. Bloody dog!

Kamini...

Kamini...

It's okay, man.

Don't worry about it.

It happens, right?

Doesn't it?

Not really but... okay

Mahi!

What?

I was just saying, you are so lucky that

your parents still

love each other so much.

You are not helping, Mahi.

Just be quiet.

Don't mind her, bro.

Just take my car and forget

whatever happened here. Just forget it.

Please thank Auntie Damini for me.

Or is it Auntie Kamini?

What was her name?

Mahi, can you please get in the car?

- Mahi?

- Yeah?

Running away from home isn't the solution.

I know.

But I have no other option.

Listen, your marriage is over.

You've gotten rid

of your betrothed as well.

Why don't you go back home?

Brother, one ticket for Islamabad.

First class. Do you have money?

Yeah, hang on.

Because today it was Saleem,

tomorrow Faheem, and Kaleem the day after.

They won't stop till they marry me off.

Thank you. Let's go.

They can't force you.

They can and they will.

What does a girl know

about what's best for her?

Get married, have kids,

and everything's fine.

Who cares what I want because

I don't know what's best for me, right?

Why do you want to study engineering?

Study medicine!

Don't wear jeans,

don't go there, don't do this...

Oh, and yeah, here's the guy

you're getting married to!

And I did it.

I did everything they told me to do.

All my life.

I was afraid.

I had planned to run away

from home months ago...

but I could never

muster up the courage to do it.

And then today, you came.

Because of you,

I realized that I'm not alone.

This world has other crazy people like me.

Who will do anything

to get what they want.

You have saved me, Bilal.

You have given me a new life.

How weird is this life?

Within hours, you seem like someone

I can call my own.

You're vibrating.

Okay, I'm coming. Bye.

Let's meet up in a few years' time.

Never.

Never say never.

- Run.

- What?

I couldn't stop one wedding today.

I'm not letting another go ahead.

But...

Stop!

Switch off the party lights!

Every newspaper and TV channel

will be running the story

that I.G. Jahangir's daughter

ran away from her own wedding.

If her father couldn't even find her,

how would he ever find criminals?

You have destroyed

years' worth of reputation!

Father...

You're worried about our reputation?

Thank God that someone

is concerned about our reputation.

If it were left to you, you would have

made sure we'd have no reputation left.

Yes, Salaar?

Did you get the CCTV footage?

Well done!

As I told you before...

water changes color, not blood.

Like mother...

like daughter.

If Mahi's not back here within 24 hours...

then don't call me Chaudhary Almgir?

Inspector General! It's not a big deal!

- So what, he's just an inspector!

- Sorry.

I'm gonna die.

- Hey. It's gonna break.

- I feel like I'm gonna break!

I'm not gonna make it out alive.

It's the end of the line for me.

Just my damn luck that

I walked into your wedding.

Look, there's no point

in me saying sorry now but...

this time it was

your idea to run, not mine!

I was going back to my family.

You're the one who said

"Don't go, let's run!"

Right?

Actually we are both equally responsible.

We are equally responsible?

No, no, the mistake is all mine.

I take full responsibility.

I'm the idiot who made you run away

from your wedding, escape on a horse

and brought you here

while the Chief of Police is after us!

- Are you alright?

- Does it look like I'm alright?

That's why I am asking!

There's still hope.

I will take you home and

you can tell your dad that I got scared

when I saw so many people and

that's why I ran away with you again.

He'll understand, right? He will.

Wait. Why should I take you?

You call them here!

Yes, I think this is better.

This is the best place.

As soon as they get here, I'll leave.

- Perfect! You okay with this plan?

- Why'd you ask me to run away?

What?

Why did you ask me to run away?

I don't know.

At the time, you were saying things

that you'd hear in a movie.

That I came into your life

at the right time and all that.

Like I'm some hero.

This is not a movie and I am not a hero.

It's Daado!

- Should I answer it?

- No. Give it to me!

Hello, Daado! I was over at Hassan's

and it got a bit late.

So I'll stay here tonight

and come back in the morning.

Hassan's the only person you could find

to spend the night with?

That's why I keep telling you

to get married!

- Daado... I... yes... but...

- Come back soon. I am waiting for you.

Daado? Hello?

She's speaks so quietly, huh?

Your grandma?

No, she's a little deaf.

Who's Balu?

It's no one.

I'm not deaf, Balu!

She calls me Balu lovingly.

Why? Were you fat like a bear as a kid?

You know, I'm gonna

call you Balu from now on.

Balu! Not Baloo! And your poor excuse

of a joke wasn't funny at all.

- It was!

- No, it wasn't.

She wants you to go home?

- Yeah.

- So, let's go.

You're going home to your family.

Call them right now!

Your grandma is waiting.

My grandma is waiting for me

and yours is waiting for you!

I don't have a grandma.

Your mother would be waiting, right?

I don't have a mother either.

Oh...

Not everybody is as lucky as you.

Some get love from both

their mother and grandmother.

Some people don't get it from either.

Mahi, please don't cry. I'm really--

One second!

Are you emotionally blackmailing me?

A little.

Listen, Balu, this is the only time

I have where I can do whatever I want.

I just want to be free, free...

to fly to the highest peaks.

But I know you won't understand,

because you're a guy.

Nobody ever stops you from doing anything.

You can do anything, right?

No, I can understand.

I think you can understand what I mean.

I think you need a break more than I do.

The love of your life just left you.

Balu...

let's go somewhere where

there is no one to tell us

what we can and cannot do.

You wouldn't understand it.

I was right...

Where do you wanna go?
